How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn the generator OFF and disconnect the battery negative cable before opening the control panel.

  • Check fuses: Locate and test the low‑voltage fuses feeding the controller and display. Replace any blown fuses with the correct rating.
  • Inspect connectors: Reseat the ribbon cable between the controller board and display module. Ensure all plugs are fully seated.
  • Look for moisture: Dry any condensation or water inside the panel and correct sealing issues.
  • Replace display: If power and connections are good but the screen remains blank, the display module may need replacement.
